And MM will be lead Spanish rider, also if Pdders doesnt do the job this year whats the bets he doesnt get a ride when his contrat is up (is that this year?) If Jorge doesnt win it, he'll head ro Pedders bike, Cal and Rossi on the Yam, Alex Esp on Bradl or Bautista bike and other Esp wth Brad on tech 3 saw it in the tarot cards..
I think this is the best option, but then think that the Honda is so dominating that if Cal were to get a ride, he would get a lot of criticism if he was to win a championship. The man is definitely a great racer. Give him a factory Yamaha ride and prove it so!! Ducati, (great though they are) is the wrong choice...
As a rider you will want the best bike. Who cares if peolpe during he season says its because ofthe bike? You cant take a title away and those things are quickly forgotten
Honda doesn't look especially dominant to me. Jorge has already won races this year with no one able to touch him. Fact is, the 3 best riders this year are Pedders, Marquez and Jorge, 2 of whom happen to be on Hondas. I don't think Jorge will be going anywhere. He is surely paid plenty and he knows the bike, which is a race winner. Cal is rapidly catching up with these guys in talent terms, but he remains a smidgeon behind. On their day, Lorenzo or Pedders, and possibly Marquez, can clear off into the distance - they have won so many races like that. We have yet to see that sort of domination from Cal at any one track. Could be the bike. Could be. The jury is out.
Pedrobot has an issue with stamina, and seems to burn his tyres out faster than the rest of the aliens... He's also a miserable git, so much prefer seeing Marquez, Rossi, Cal or Lorenzo on the top spot. Marquez has been an inspiration this year though...
I think Pedders is far less miserable than of yore. The interview with what's-her-face on the Beeb showed him as a nice bloke, quite shy possibly, but definitely someone who has matured and is a lot more comfy in his own skin than he used to be. He's meant to live around here somewhere, when he isn't jetting the world. Maybe I should pop round for a chat.
Even if Cals bike is 'nearly' factory spec, it still aint a full factory bike. All the riders that have dominated a race ARE on full factory bikes. No coincidence IMO.
